漫天風雪的温哥華

All the cars were covered with big layer of snow!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We have been experiencing the biggest snowfall in Vancouver since 1996 and a white Christmas since 1998 according to the news. (Snowfall on Dec 20, Dec 24 and Dec 26 today) God's creation is amazing and powerful. It is very beautiful to watch the snowfall, especially on Christmas Day. However, there are some drawbacks too. I have done so much snow walking and shovelling exercise in the past few days that may equivalent all the exercises I could have done in the past three months. The skytrain and the buses are always packed with people with wet hair, wet boots, and red noses. If you have to work in the last few days, you can experience waiting on skytrain platform for at least 25 to 30 minutes before getting on the skytrain. Or you can experience free ride from the bus driver as the ticket machine runs out of order because of the below zero temperature. Certainly, Vancouver people are not well-equipped with big snow like this and we have spoiled by the nice weather in Vancouver in the past 10 years.
I am going to help Ricky and my sister to shovel the snow at their burnaby house now. It's going to be another shovelling exercise today.
Wish all of you have a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! :)

你是一個健康促進者嗎?

較早前看了一個健康節目, 主持人提及原來每個人也會有意無意地把壓力帶給身邊的家人,朋友, 或同事. 有以下現象的人通常會施壓給身邊的人:

[佬]的現象
-失去鬥志及動力
-衣著隨便
-常常埋怨(但不去積極改善)

這種現象不只會出現在男性身上, 也會出現在女性身上. 在這個人心惶惶的時候, 我為了提醒自己不做[佬], 所以把它寫在這個blog內. 只有與一個輕鬆愉快的朋友談話才是減壓的良藥, 你是一個健康促進者嗎?

Mandatory Golf Course for 2nd graders in China

Perhaps we will have a little Tiger Wood in China in the future. I feel like I have to try this sport after reading this article!
